Dear SL:
Without seeing your workflow set up this will be difficult to determine. I would guess that your WF path would consist of at least the following:
1. Manager Approval Stage
2. Role Approver Stage (this would require that you either have a valid ID as the role assignment approver assigned to the role in role management)
Based upon your comments, this should not apply, but there is a scenario where if the role does not have an assignment approver AND you have set configuration to auto approve roles with no approver, it would just be auto approved or passed on to a subsequent stage. I personally never recommend that due to the fact that it could be really easy to forget to add the approver IDs, and it may be a highly sensitive role.
You could look at the MSMP Instance Monitor for the technical details of the workflow and the decisions that were made. You can access this either in SPRO or use transaction GRFNMW_DBGMONITOR_WD from the GRC ABAP screen. If you look at the different tabs, you would be able to see the Audit Log (same as on the request), Messages log (this will give you all of the detailed decisions and calculations being taken), as well as a host of other items.
If the above does exist, then I would start checking the following:
1. Is the current MSMP Process ID version fully generated?
2. Do I have the correct MSMP Process ID Initiator configured in Maintain Rules?
3. Does my initiator trigger the correct workflow path and/or is my Maintain Route Mappings correct?
I hope this helps you on your way to troubleshooting MSMP workflow in GRC.
